Basic knowledge about ones own body is worthwhile for the understanding of advisable attitudes in personal hygienics. Teaching of hygienic means for the controlling of bodily functions should go hand in hand with the education in human biology. Nevertheless, the doctor who offers care for adolescent girls will always be confronted with certain typical questions about discharge and menstruation, not much later as well about reproductive function or contraception. For menstrual hygienics tampons have advantages over pads, as long as their use is properly demonstrated. The toxic-shock syndrome has hardly ever existed in association with the use of tampons.
了解自身身体的基本知识，对于理解个人卫生方面的适宜态度是很有价值的。教授控制身体机能的卫生方法应与人类生物学教育同步进行。然而，为青春期女孩提供护理的医生总会面临一些关于分泌物、月经的典型问题，不久后还会涉及生殖功能或避孕方面的问题。就经期卫生而言，只要正确示范使用方法，卫生棉条比卫生巾更具优势。与使用卫生棉条相关的中毒性休克综合征几乎从未出现过。
